High Hopes

Vanguard

"The most exciting new hardcore band to come around in a long while" - NEW NOISE

The melodic metalcore scene is about to take
a beating, as Reading born quintet HIGH HOPES are set to raise the bar with
their sophomore full length Sights And Sounds, due for release on February 5th,
2016 through their new label, Victory Records.

A group of highly talented individuals who
each bring refreshing and captivating ideas to the table, HIGH HOPES are a
force to be reckoned with and Sights & Sounds is a testament to their
exciting musicianship. From the crushing breakdowns and ferocious vocal tones
that will shatter your brain, to the carefully crafted melodies that weave
their way through the tracks, you’ll need to fasten your seatbelts as this
hard-hitting full-length takes you on a whirlwind journey.

A band who are true to themselves and write
music that people will enjoy as opposed to following the trend, HIGH HOPES are
an asset to melodic metalcore as they grow and mature as musicians. “We write
songs that we would enjoy listening to if we weren’t in the band,” drummer
Daryl Pryor explains. “I think ‘Sights And Sounds’ has a much more mature sound
compared to the previous two releases, but still holds onto that High Hopes
style that we are known for; heavy, yet incredibly melodic at the same time.”

Formed in late 2012 the quintet are no
strangers to the live circuit, having perfected their high-energy performance
over their three years as a band. Proud to have shared the stage with peers
such as Heart Of A Coward, Skindred, For The Fallen Dreams and Our Last Night,
as well as touring across the UK, Europe and Canada, the quintet have built a
loyal fan base across the globe; it’s only a matter of time until High Hopes
are at the top of their game. Sights & Sounds will be available everywhere on February 5th, 2016.

On the earth-conscious video, vocalist
Nick Brooks explains, “This world is our home, and it seems like we're going
out of our way to destroy it. We've only got one shot on this planet and we
need to stop taking it for granted. ‘Vanguard’ is a track that means a lot to
us for this exact reason. If something isn't done soon there will be nothing
left, we need to be the change to preserve the world for generations to
come."

Drummer Daryl Pryor adds,
"World issues aside, shooting ‘Vanguard’ was a whole lot of fun. All the
rubbish that you see in the video was sourced from recycling plants and garbage
bins, it was kind of gross sorting through it but we felt it definitely played
a part in the meaning behind the video."

England’s HIGH HOPES have partnered with New Noise Magazine to bring you an
